So Tommy and I finally made our way to the 4/8 table after about 45 minutes of watching basketball and playing for a good hour at 3/6. I load up for another rack, and seat 8 immediately takes notice. He thought I was buying in for two more racks (plus the rack I had from 3/6) and said, "whoa looks like we have an action player." So far from the truth haha...

Seat 8 (Feliz) turned out to be a pretty solid player, played tight and fast (alot like me...that's how I think I play anyway) and he talked ALOT. This was really good though, because I immediately started shooting the shit with the guy and made Tommy join in once in awhile. Tommy told me after the session was over that I should talk more often, because it seemed like I was involved in a lot of hands (even though I was just chatting it up) because I was so vocal.

Anyway, I'll give you a quick description of all the players. Seat 1 was first occupied by a Lag-ish player (KK vs. 44 Villain) and then he later moved to seat 2. I can't remember the original seat 2 doing too much. Seat 3 was one of the more solid older asian players. Didn't play many hands, and I don't remember clashing with him at all. Seat 4 was my arch nemesis for the night. He had a very annoying catch-phrase ("Check this!") whenever he had a monster and would fire out a bet. Very loose PF raising standards, but he became your typical calling station after the flop. Only bet with a good hand, etc. Seat 5 was occupied the entire night by a beautiful older (30s) asian girl who loved to reach over and grab my arm and pinch me whenever she would have flopped a big hand but folded pre-flop. She was the prettiest and best smelling "fish" I've ever played with haha...Seat 6 was yours truly, seat 7 was originally a LAP, but was later replaced with a Lag, seat 8 was Feliz (Tag) and seat 9 was my friend Tommy (a little bit of a Lap at times, but mostly tag)...

The first couple orbits I folded a ton, and I remember feeling nervous because of it. I was hoping too many people wouldn't take notice that I hadn't played any hands yet. Sometime around orbit three I remember getting AQ and AK in LP and winning a couple pots without a showdown. I remember completely whiffing with AQ, but everyone folded to a flop bet. The AK hand I think I turned a king and seat 4 called down until the river, where he folded, must have missed a draw of some sort.

Anyway, this leads up to my set over set hand which was just brutal. I was running pretty well (up $80 or so), and I can't even remember how I won all that, but I get 44 in LP, and here's the HH from Cardplayer:

Disgusting hand, but judging from the response from the guys over at CP, I guess I played it correctly. Some called for a turn cap, which given my read on this guy, would have been a little spew-ish. He was talking so much and seemed to be so in love with his hand that when he 3-Bet the turn, I knew I was behind. Oh well...

The rest of the night went okay, and I ended up leaving up $65 from the 4/8K game and like $6 from the 3/6 game. Nothing earth-shaking, but it brought up my BB/HR and it was a winning session. Sometimes I wish all sessions could be like this. Win most of the hands you're "supposed to," lose a couple you should have won, and eek out 2BB/Hr....
